Nobody could have predicted that shouting "You lie!" at the President of the United States while he's speaking to a joint session of Congress might annoy people. And, being annoyed, they might go to Act Blue's fund-raising page for the guy who opposed you in your last election and plans to oppose you again. And then they might dump over $400K into Rob Miller's campaign fund overnight.
So is Joe Wilson (R-SC) an idiot? Well, yes. He's also quite the health care hypocrite. He's a retired Army National Guard colonel, which means he's a beneficiary of the military's Tricare health system, which is (gasp!) government-run.
